Ballet with a side of belly laughs

For almost 50 years, the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (affectionately known as “the Trocks”) have been delighting audiences of all ages at sell-out performances featuring their fabulous sense of fun and their flawless dance.

Originally from New York, the Trocks are now loved world-wide for their sassy spoofs and hilarious homages to classical ballet.

Every performance frivolously froths with tutus and testosterone, blush-pink ballet pumps, fierce false eyelashes and prima ballerina attitude. However, what makes this company extraordinary is their immaculate technique and daring physicality, surpassed only by their impeccable comic timing.

The repertoire includes Swan Lake; Pas de Deux or modern work or solo to be announced; Metal Garden (UK premiere); Dying Swan; Paquita.
